With the slide open in PowerPoint, click on the image that you want to copy into Design-a-Course. Once selected, resize handles will appear at the corners and edges of the selected image. At this point, you can right-click on the image and choose "Copy" from the context menu that pops up, click the "Copy" tool bar option, click on the "Edit" item in the menu bar and choose the "Copy" option from that menu, or just type a Control-C character sequence from the keyboard. Any of these actions will copy the selected image into the paste buffer. Now switch back the Author and paste the copied image at the current edit point by using the right-click, context menu, the "Paste" tool bar option, the "Edit\Paste" option from the menu bar, or by typing a Control-V character sequence from the keyboard.
